Internal Family Systems – IFS therapy is both an insight and experiential therapy which is based on the belief that we all have multiple personalities which run our day to day lives. In IFS therapy the belief is that these “parts” share the goal of protecting us from emotional pain but use different and conflicting methods to do that. The struggle for control between our parts can cause us to behave in self-destructive ways. In IFS therapy an attempt is made to communicate with and understand each of our parts and in this regard reintegrate them into the system.
